Three New AC Drives Series Offer High Performance and Value, and Expand Omron's Motor Control Capabilities to Deliver Complete Automation Solutions
June 20, 2008
Omron Electronics LLC (www.omron247.com) has introduced 3 new high-performance AC drive series that help machine builders and plants achieve energy savings in a time of rising utility costs and extend motor life to reduce operating costs. These AC drives were designed to be easy to install and maintain for fast commissioning and maximum system availability. The 3G3JX series for simple applications offers V/Hz control; the compact 3G3MX for side-by-side mounting offers open loop control; the 3G3RX series provides both open- and closed-loop control, and advanced features to meet the needs of challenging torque and speed control applications.
"This new line of drives fills a gap in our industrial automation offering and allows someone to build a more complete control system from Omron as a primary supplier," according to Gregg Holst, the Americas President and COO for Omron Electronics LLC. The simplicity of operation and ease of integration into new and existing machines was a guiding design concept for the line. Omron's service organization provides critical support for AC drives throughout a machine's lifecycle. Users can take advantage of Omron application engineers' experience optimizing the performance of AC drives in automation projects and fabricating custom control panels, obtaining training and extending operation life with board repair services. These space-saving AC drives are also RoHS compliant to assist in pursuing environmentally responsible procurement and e-waste disposal programs.
Highlights of the three new AC drives series are shown below:
